Pulsed electrochemical detection of sulfur-containing antibiotics following high performance liquid chromatography.

Pulsed electrochemical detection (PED) following reversed-phase chromatography has been applied to the direct detection of sulfur-containing antibiotics, specifically, penicillins, cephalosporins, and lincomycin. The compounds are detected sensitively and selectively without the need for derivatization. Integrated pulsed amperometric detection (IPAD) yields limits of detection lower than UV detection for these compounds. Detection limits using an optimized IPAD waveform are typically 10 ppb or less. The high selectivity of PED for thiocompounds reduces sample preparation. This work is applied to the determination of penicillin and related analogues in various pharmaceutical formulations/preparations, including a chicken feed.
